This page has been set up in memory of my son George who was born at 26 weeks plus four days on June 29th 2009 and sadly passed away just 12 hours later on June 30th 2009.

Several of us are combining to complete a loose triathlon. A 90 mile cycle in Wales, a half marathon in Sheffield, and then some ludicrous swimming in 14 of the Lakes! In an act of genius, or laziness depending how you look at it, each event takes place separately and by different people!

Our aim is to raise funds for the Intensive Care Baby Unit at Sheffield Jessops Maternity hospital that looked after George and continues to dedicate itself to the intensive care of sick and premature babies. 

The unit has a long and varied wishlist of what it would like to purchase, including 

• Positioning aids
• Baby examination trolley
• ‘Premature’ stethoscopes
• Soothers
• Baby clothes and bibs
• Breast feeding pillows
• Disposable cameras
• Bereavement packs
• Toys for the waiting area
• Bedding for the parents rooms

 

Several of us will be taking part in various fundraising events over the course of the year with our target of raising those funds between us.
